The National Broadband Network and the digital divide were front and centre for Techtalk this week.

Scott Schrieke was back in the chair for the morning while George Fong was officially turning on the NBN for a part of Ballarat.

Scott says he isn't happy because he is not getting the NBN rollout to his home office in the foreseeable future.

"I'm trying to start a new business and it's a photography business. I was uploading some images for a client and it took 12 hours to upload. I'm on ADSL and the upload is just abysmal. I was at a client's house who has just had the NBN put in and it was 50 times faster."

Scott says the plans for the fibre-to-the-node system won't be much faster for uploads than ADSL and he has already considered moving house to connect to the NBN fibre-to-the-home service.

"I've already talked about it with my wife. The disadvantage is that we've spent around $100,000 dollars building my home office. In the time it took me to upload it (the pictures) I could have driven to Melbourne and back with my flash drive with all the images on it three times."
